    Post OH's S60 D5 update

    Lack of updates = dependable car


    This year the MOT was interesting lol

    MAY 2015 FAIL @ 188k for the following:
    Nearside Front position lamp not working
    Offside Front position lamp not working
    Offside Rear Registration plate lamp not working
    Offside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint
    Offside Rear Anti-roll bar has excessive play in a ball joint
    Offside Front Anti-roll bar has excessive play in a ball joint
    Nearside front brake binding
    Offside Front wheel bearing rough when rotated
    Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush
    Offside Front Lower Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush
    Parking brake: efficiency below requirements
    Nearside rear parking brake recording little or no effort
    Offside rear parking brake recording little or no effort

    All the above sorted and retested (passed, obviously) within a week


    195k+ on her now.....Saturday saw first chilly morning this season with a temp of 2C at home (this car is parked outside)...The old girl failed to start...Resistance test showed Glow Plugs 3 and 5 were completely dead.

    £7 a plug so changed all 5 without drama, running like a dream again....come on 200k!

    Pic taken the other evening, not the best of pics however it's the only one on my phone with her S60 in shot.

    Good to hear you've got it all sorted BUT you should be ashamed though taking it in for an MOT with blown bulbs ffs lol


    Did you use the recent Wishbone Polybush thread as a guide to replace the bottom arms....?

    I did bend her ear about the numberplate bulb being out though, and the knocking from the suspension that she'd known about for a while
